A Premium Spirographic Espresso Distribution Tool by Papel Espresso®
We’ve optimized every aspect of this tool, from perfectly engineered gear ratios to the placement of the needles. Elevate your espresso experience with unparalleled consistency just a few spins away. Perfectly fluffy espresso pucks are now within reach.
This model, unlike the v1, has an adjustable needle length.
Quick geometry lesson: Hypotrochoids and epitrochoids are curves defined by tracing a point attached to a circle that’s rolling along the inside or outside of a fixed circle, respectively. Spirographs use this concept to create mesmerizing geometric patterns.
The Papel WDT™ employs 15 needles, each with a 0.30mm diameter, to trace dozens of hypotrochoids and epitrochoids through the mounded coffee grounds in your 49mm, 51mm, 54mm, 57mm and 58mm portafilter basket. This mechanical motion distributes and fluffs the grounds in seconds, ensuring consistency no matter how early in the morning it is. The increased needle count, compared to competitors, enhances distribution performance, elevating your espresso enjoyment.
The Papel WDT™ features a perfect gear design that mixes, distributes, and the coffee grounds in your portafilter in just three spins. Four separate gears come together in an optimized fashion.
🖊️Design:
Design ergonomics and flexibility: The design is optimized for needle placement and ergonomic use.
Use of 14 needles: More needles compared to others enhance distribution performance and improve the espresso experience.
Identical product as advertised: The product you receive will be identical to the one shown in the shared images.
Detailed prints: The product is meticulously designed to capture even the finest details.
How to use the tool:
- The tool comes with 15 needles pre-inserted into the gear holes.
- Fill your portafilter with espresso grounds, place the tool on top, and give it 3 spins.
- Remove the tool from the basket, place it in its stand, tamp your grounds, and brew some espresso.
With this product, you’ll receive:
The Papel WDT™
20x needles, each with a 0.30mm diameter
Weighted base with a self-aligning stand
Height adjustable up to 13mm.
✔️Compatibility:
Currently, the base is designed to fit 49mm, 51mm, 54mm and 58mm portafilters with two flanges. If you have a different type or size of portafilter, please contact us. We plan to offer additional options to increase compatibility in the future, so let us know what you’re using.
If you want to change the needles of the product in the future, an allen key to open the top cover is sent with the product. Using this key, the spare needles sent with the product can be replaced when necessary.

Great product, works perfect. Would buy again 👌

This looks really nice in person and is attractive sitting at the coffee station. The adjustable depth is easy to change and, best of all, it does a perfect job of evening out your choice grounds. It’s also very precisely printed and the cogs rotate very, very smoothly, so I think this will last a long time, especially for home use.

The tool works very well and, like all Papel Espresso products, it arrived very promptly. My only gripe really has to do with the magnets and the base. The whole product is printed in PLA, which is a bit of a design flaw. Most people, myself included, preheat the portafilter before beginning puck prep. PLA does not work well with heat and after only a few uses, the magnets have come loose from the base and the base has shown signs of minor melting. Because of this, I’m now having to firmly hold the tool in place while using it, which is a bit irritating. The product could be significantly improved by printing the base in a heat-resistant material, like PETG. Also, a handle on top would help, as the mechanism sometimes gets stuck. Overall, the product does the job but lacks the same quality as other Papel products.

Nicely made product, good quality material and a nice finish and colour. The adjustable depth for the Needles is great for different basket depths. Once chosen can be locked in place. Extra needles and an Allen Key for the replacing them is included. Distributes the grinds well and is easy to use. Magnets hold it securely onto the basket and has its own base. Highly recommend ??
